Excerpt from Maria Stuart: Ein TrauerspielAbout fifteen years ago the present writer produced an edition of Maria Stuart with very brief notes, as one of the series of Whitney's German Texts, begun and in part directed by that eminent and honored scholar, Professor W. D. Whitney. Now, as circumstances seemed to call for a new edition, it has been thought best to essay a fresh work, planned on new and larger lines, more suited, perm haps, to the demands of the present day in our schools and colleges. While, therefore, the present edition is the lineal descendant Of the earlier one, it is in no sense the same, except, of course, in so far as the earlier materials have again been freely used.In the present work the editor has especially endeavored to recognize and, so far as he could, to meet what he deems the most important needs of the student in reading a play like this, which, from its subject and style, is likely to be among the first to be read in the German classic drama. Besides such explanatory notes as might be necessary or duly helpful - and no more it has been his chief aim to. Secure an intelligent and sympathetic interest in the play as a work of literature. This purpose, it is hoped, will be recognized both in the introductory matter and in the.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
